To get some control over the selection you then often have to place multiple control points and the negatives. Even then it seldom works as well as it was in Capture NX2.
Here is a comparison I posted some time ago. Dunno if its changed since v4.

Control Points - Change the shape of the circle as well as the size

John-M, You might be right about some folk not understanding of how the control points work. That does seem to be what underlies the desire to change their shape. I can see the use of being able to adjust the shape but one can always adjust effective overall shape by adding copies of the same point, … HOWEVER, I do understand how they work, having used them for at least ten years (since Capture NX) and the way they work in PL doesn’t satisfy me. It’s a disappointment for me because I depend on …
